On our second Innovation Academy Class Randy Scherer a teacher from High Tech High came to talk with us so we could organize ourselves better in the future. Randy told us that before we made any article, video or anything we had to know who we were writing to, if we didn’t know this whatever creation that we made would not be interesting.
We made an activity that consisted in interviewing people about news and then separated the categories in post its, a very fun, innovating and interesting activity. I learned that everyone thinks different be it a students, a teacher or a janitor. This made our work a little more difficult because we had to create something that would interest everyone, something fun but professional so we had to be creative.
We ended up creating several projects, from a simple rap up to a Windows 8 program, amazing! I realized that simple things sometimes work better than complicated, time taking creations.
